SHODTIG STATLE 5 HELD BAD LCK Soldiers Believe That De- struction in War Will Bring Defeat. By DEWITT MACKENZIE, Associated Press Forelgn Affairs Writer. A metal statue of Sun Yat-sen, “father of the Chinese revolution,” was knocked off its pedestal by Japa- nese shells in Shanghai the other day. A new photo showed Nipponese sol- diers grouped about the fallen hero, Iaughing heartily. They ought to know better than that. Why, it might eost them the war. The Germans lost the World War because they shot down the famous Golden Virgin of Albert. Any soldier who went through that holocaust will tell you so. The Virgin of Albert. ‘The heroic figure of the Virgin, with €hild in arms, stood on the lofty spire of the church in the public square of Albert in Northern France. You eould see it for miles along the valley of the winding Somme, when the sunlight glinted on the gold. Some of the fiercest fighting of the war raged back and forth through Al- bert as the British and Germans flung themselves at each other in this stra- tegic sector. The city was literally shot to pieces until little but the church tower and the Golden Virgin re- mained intact. From time to time shells struck the statue until gradually it leaned far over, but the gunners on both sides tired to avoid hitting it. Every soldier knew the side that finally shot the Golden Virgin down would lose the war, Why the Germans Lost. Those of us who were with the British and had to work in that in- hospitable zone of death used to watch the Virgin anxiously day by day.

J, Nov. 1—Out of the mental shadowland 79-year- old Oswald Rudolph has come back to his son and daughter, who had sought him far and wide for more than 15 months. He went to New York on business one day in July, 1936, and was struck by an auto. The accident left him with amnesia and there was nothing in his pockets to identify him. After he was released from Bellevue Hospital he was transferred to an asylum and later to Pilgrim State Hospital at Brentwood on Long Island, where he spent many months, ignorant of whe he was or where he eame from. - His daughter, Mrs. William Mattil of this city and his son, Fred, of Jer- sey City, persevered in their search | for him in many cities and in hos- | pitals and missing persons bureaus. | After they had almost given up | hope of finding him, the daughter, | while scanning the files of the hos- | - THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. T, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1937. . Specimen of Mystery Ape Will Be Goal of Explorer By the Associated Press. CHICAGC, Nov. 1.—Comdr. Attilio Gatti, the African explorer, believes that a fifth anthropoid exists in the Belgian Congo—a grotesque ape un- known to science, but leering darkly through the legends of the pigmies. He said the goal of his 1938 ex- pedition into the steaming Kibali-Iture Forest would be to obtain a specimen of the beast, dead or alive. The natives call -the animal the “mulahu,” Gatti said in an interview, and describe it as & beast much larger than the four known anhtropoids—the gorillas, chimpanzees, orang-outans and gibbons—walking erect, covered with long, dark hair except for the face, which is shielded by a white mane. The Italian adventurer said he was not fortunate enough to see the “mu- lahu” during his work in the forest but that investigation con- im there was a sound and fearful foundation for the tales of the pigmies. Advancing into an un- explored section of the forest, he re- lated, his party made two significant discoveries. “First, we found footprints which ‘were not those of a gorilla,” he said. “They were double the size of those of an ordinary man. “Secondly, we found s dead mahog- any tree, in which had been clawed a covern. Five pigmies climbed into the holes and were not crowded.

On the last two he was accompanied by his Amer- ican wife, the former Ellen Waddill of Chicago and Springfield, Mo.

In advertising for the purpose of producing business, it is likewise very safe to follow the judgment of others who have msed it successfully for many years.
